Can you give me some sort of idea on that advise in more detail or in a private message and I have previously heard the food is bad but if this is everyone's opinion then why is this the case because I plan to have a strict diet down there. And if everyone's aim is to do well, get results and...

living in a nut house, i wouldn't want to leave on 8th October 2013. Have you done the course already then I take it?

sooo who is coming open day in august then?

Yeah, just medical and references, but yeah got an offer. So happy over the moon --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I was just wondering if anybody knows what the earnings are in the 4th year for E&P, plus the amount of night work that you normally do as I can't seem to find any...

Did you wear casual clothes to the medical btw, defiantly don't think it will need a suit?

ahhh nice one, my medic history is clean so should be all good. Have you seen the pictures of the accommodation and facilities as well? Astroturf football pitch looking sweeeeet. Just counting down the days to lads holiday and Sept 8th in Pompey

e&p at wimbledon, and just looked on the facebook page and their saying 26th July and one on the 8th August. Buzzing for it though, what was the medical like btw?

Meeeee. I got an offer, over the moon and I've just got the medical now. What area and trade you going for? And I haven't had any info on the open days as of yet

It was about 13 days after and by phone call. They only e-mail or send letter if it's bad news sadly but I came home from lunch every day to make sure I didn't have a letter and constantly checking the phone. Crazy times. What you applying for and what area you looking at doing? Did you get any...

Ahh jheez, I felt like that last year. All you could prepare for is the question like why have you quit 6th Form and all that blah blah. They could ask questions like couldn't you handle the work load and stuff like that so make sure you have answers for those ones. Don't worry about how long...

No probs at all mate, I know I didn't stop talking but when I looked for info from others, nothing came up so I tried to give as much info as possible for my tired fingers. Yeah suit and tie is what everyone had on, looked like some boyband. The fault finding was sort of like a traffic light...

The situational one was similar but it was also like a technical exam as well. So like I said before, you get a little paragraph of information and then 4 multiple choice questions. Some of the paragraphs were on headgear, fire extinguishers and I think there was another one on types of drills...

The structure for the day was like this for me. Sit down and get an introduction to the company. Keep eye contact with the people doing the demonstration and be in a poised posture so you are not too relaxed and look fairly eager. You want to come across enthusiastic which you should be and...

Then lunch, try and be social with people and during the day aswell as they are going to be your partners in the group exercise later that day and an initial form of communication will benefit. Small questions such as what depot, what role to break the original silence that everyone has, are...

After lunch we had our group exercise. I'm not giving it away as it could be different but there will be plenty of people watching you and can make you scared. Try and read through the scenario and find the important key points. This is where the communication also comes into play and the bond...
